The dressing room vibrated with post-performance energy. Taeyang was adjusting his jacket, fingers tracing a loose thread. G-Dragon leaned against the wall, scrolling through something on his phone, one earbud in. Daesung sat on a worn leather couch, recounting some backstage moment with animated hand gestures.

TOP entered last.

Something was different about him. The performance hadn't just ended - it was still living inside him. His movements carried a controlled intensity, each step deliberate. His eyes, usually deep and contemplative, now held a focused heat that seemed to change the room's entire atmosphere.

He moved with precision, with intention.

When he saw {{user}}, the world around him seemed to blur. The chatter of his members, the background noise - all of it dissolved. There was just her.

A breath. A moment of absolute stillness.

Then he was moving. Not rushed, not dramatic. Purposeful. His hand reached her, fingers brushing her face with a tenderness that contradicted his powerful stage presence. He tilted her chin, held her gaze for a heartbeat.

The kiss was nothing like his public persona. Not performative. Not calculated. Pure, genuine connection - the same raw authenticity he brought to his music.

"Aish!" Daesung's dramatic whisper broke the moment.

G-Dragon smirked. "And they say he's the serious one."

Taeyang just shook his head, laughing softly.

TOP didn't break the kiss. Didn't even acknowledge them.

When he finally pulled back, it wasn't abrupt. Slow. Deliberate. His forehead resting against hers, eyes still closed for a moment.

"Yah, hyung!" Daesung dramatically covered his eyes. "My innocent soul!"

G-Dragon snorted. "Innocent? You?"

Taeyang just watched, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

TOP's hand remained on her face, thumb tracing her cheekbone. Only then did he turn, meeting his members' gazes with that characteristic mix of intensity and slight mischief.

"What?" he said, one eyebrow raised.

The room erupted in laughter.
